The minimally invasive endoscopic technique for the treatment of symptomatic benign bone lesions: Preliminary results from a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Objective:The present study aimed to evaluate the short-term clinical feasibility and efficacy of the minimally invasive endoscopic technique (MIET) for the treatment of symptomatic benign bone lesions. Materials and methods:This single-institution retrospective study investigated 34 patients with symptomatic benign bone lesions from December 2015 to June 2017. Patients involved in this study presented with definite indications for surgical intervention. All procedures were performed under endoscopic guidance for direct visualization followed by complete curettage of tumor tissue. There were 19 males and 15 females, with a mean age of 33.3 ± 12.7 years (range, 17-68 years). The lesions were located in the upper extremities (20, 58.8%), lower extremities (9, 26.5%) and pelvis (5, 14.7%). Primary outcomes were measured before and after intervention using the visual analog scale (VAS), the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) stage and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scoring system. Results:Of the 34 patients included in this study, all completed follow-up examinations, with a mean follow-up duration of 22.4 ± 7.6 months (range, 13-35 months). Significantly improved VAS, MSTS and SF-36 scores were observed at 3 months after the initial treatment (P < 0.001), suggesting enhanced pain relief and improved functional recovery and quality of life following surgery. All procedures were technically successful, with the exception of 3 cases (8.8%) manifesting access site numbness; these patients recovered within the follow-up period through symptomatic treatment alone. Only 2 patients (5.9%; one osteoblastoma and one enchondroma) experienced local recurrence and underwent standard open curettage within the follow-up period. All patients showed functional stability without any major complications. Conclusion:The MIET is an effective and safe alternative treatment for symptomatic benign bone lesions. The short-term efficacy of MIET was favorable and associated with improved pain palliation, quality of life and functional recovery.

Project description:Background: Hyperhidrosis is due to the hyperactive autonomic stimulation of the sweat glands in response to stress. Primary hyperhidrosis is a common yet psychologically disabling condition. This study will describe our experience in managing hyperhidrosis via endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). Methods: The information was obtained from the patient records from 1 st January 2011 until 31 st December 2016. Pertinent information was extracted and keyed into a study proforma. Results: 150 patients were operated on but only 118 patients were included in this study. The mean age was 22.9±7.3 years. The majority (54.2%) had palmar-plantar hyperhidrosis and 39.8% had associated axillary hyperhidrosis. Excision of the sympathetic nerve chain and ganglia were the main surgical technique with the majority (55.9%) at T2-T3 level. Mean ETS procedure time was 46.6±14.29 minutes with no conversion. Surgical complications were minimal and no Horner's Syndrome reported. Mean hospital stay was 3.5±1.05 days. The majority of patients (67.8%) had only one follow-up and only half of the study sample (58.5%) complained mild to moderate degree of compensatory sweating, even though the long-term resolution is yet to be determined by another study. Following ETS, 98.3% of patients had instant relief and resolved their palmar hyperhidrosis. Predictors of CS were sympathectomy level and follow-up. The odds of reporting CS was 2.87 times in patients undergoing ETS at the T2-T3 level compared to those undergoing ETS at the T2-T4 level. The odds of reporting CS was 13.56 times in patients having more than one follow-up compared to those having only one follow-up. Conclusion: We conclude that ETS is a safe, effective and aesthetically remarkable procedure for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis with only half of the patients developing mild to moderate degree of CS. Significant predictors of CS were sympathectomy level during ETS and frequency of follow-up after ETS.
